Beautiful book with lots of good information. September 6, 2008
Charles W. Long (Mission, TX United States)
The book displays an abundance of impressive and beautiful pieces. A great book for anyone's coffee table. But, I think more important, is the variety of subjects and techniques displayed. I found it inspirational-- gave me the urge go over to my workbench, grab my pin-vise, and start poking some holes. I may never be able to do as well as some of the artists who did these things, but their work gives me lots of ideas about how I might improve my scrimshanding.
